Popular pages

A Natural Curiosity isn’t one of the most popular blogs on the great series of tubes that makes up the Internet, but I do get visitors from some surprisingly far-flung places, and I notice some surprising patterns among the pages that people look at.

A few of my book reviews pop up again and again, and they are mostly reviews of some fairly obscure African works — including my review of And Night Fell, a South African prison memoir that I wrote about way back in 1984.

Maybe there just isn’t much else on the Internet about some of these books. Too bad.
